no!
Listening to my father's words, I stomped my feet and shouted, but no sound came out!
My father's words were like a sharp knife, piercing my heart.
I stared incredulously at the woman sitting on the sofa, her face covered in grime, her cheeks swollen and red, her eyes filled with venom.
"Sheng Qiaoqiao, do you think he loves you that much? He treats you well, spoils you, and indulges you because he thinks you're his and Qiao Wan's child!" My mother, her face completely changed, sneered and mocked me.
"When you suddenly started divorcing Fu Yanshen, he pretended to have a heart attack to manipulate you for his own benefit!"
My mother's words felt like another knife stabbing into my heart.
I shook my head. "No...no..."
"Later, he agreed to your divorce, but that was out of guilt towards Qiao Wan! What kind of person is he? He has no sincerity towards you! Even after he found out you weren't his biological child, he still turned a blind eye and tacitly allowed me to use you to beg Fu Yanshen!"
I covered my ears with my hands, not wanting to hear any more.
I
I feel like I'm going crazy...
They are the parents I've relied on since childhood, my closest relatives, and the people I've been protecting with all my might since my rebirth.
Now, one of them has been using me from the beginning, and the other is only nice to me out of guilt towards his ex, not because he truly loves me.
"Waaah..." I finally burst into tears, watching them with tears streaming down their faces.
"Dad...Mom...why?"
I asked in a hoarse voice, my throat choked up as if a wooden stick was stuck in it, hard and painful, and I looked at them with pleading eyes.
Even now, I still crave their love, their heartfelt love.
"Why are you crying? You've been the pampered young lady of the Sheng family for over twenty years, getting whatever you wanted. You've had your fill of life, you wild girl! You didn't mention me to the police tonight, did you? You can't even ignore me!"
Mom wiped her face with a wet wipe, giving me an impatient glare. "Back then, I wanted you to marry Shen Yu, but you insisted on calling him a scumbag. You really think you're so superior!"
"Later, you insisted on marrying that bodyguard. I didn't stop you. I was hoping you would marry down so as not to threaten Beichen's position. Who knew that Fu Yanshen would become more and more capable... When you were going through a divorce, I fully supported you and even sent a message to Shen Yu to seduce you, just in case Fu Yanshen became too powerful and squeezed out Beichen!"
She said a lot of things that I only realized later.
It was like buckets of ice water being poured over my head, forcing me to wake up and see her true colors.
"Qiaoqiao, I warned you back then not to listen to her!" Dad glanced at me.
No wonder, after I was reborn, the couple always argued about my marriage.
"So, you've always known that Beichen likes me? You've always known that Beichen used Shijin as a substitute for me, haven't you? Shijin's miscarriage, loss of her uterus, and being sold to northern Myanmar by you—that's all true, isn't it?"
As soon as I said it, I realized I was asking a pointless question.
She could kidnap and kill me, so how could she tolerate Beichen having a woman?
According to her consistent thinking, she should decide what kind of woman Beichen likes.
Seeing that she always burns incense and prays to Buddha, it turns out she's done too many bad things!
"You brat, are you trying to trick me into telling you something for that Fu guy? It's no use trying, there's no evidence!" She raised her hand at me, as if to hit me, and sneered.
"You troublemaker! No wonder Fu Yanshen was so ruthless towards my family, it's all because of you!"
Her father kicked her to the ground, cursing her viciously.
"Tell me, did you hide my and Qiao Wan's child?! Where is that child now?!" He rushed forward, grabbed his mother's hair, and questioned her.
Instead of struggling or losing her temper, the mother gave a chilling smile.
"Sheng Minghui, do you think I would let that bastard live?" She said in a low voice, glancing at her father indifferently before her gaze fixed on a certain point. Her eyes narrowed, her gaze as sharp as a nail.
"You, you...what...what did you do to that child?!"
Her attitude seemed to be driving her father to the brink of collapse, and he asked in a trembling voice.
"Ha...you know perfectly well what I'm asking!" Mom continued to provoke him, and Dad's face grew paler and paler. "You killed him?!"
He roared and kicked his mother on the ground.
The mother still didn't resist, tilting her head up, "Sheng Minghui, let me tell you another secret. Do you know how Qiao Wan got into the car accident?"
Her smile was sinister.
So, Qiao Wan was also killed by her?
Then she saw her father kicking her like a madman again.
"What's all the fuss about? I haven't finished yet!" Mom sneered. "Your child with Qiao Wan is actually a boy!"
Her words struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her father stunned.
He clutched his chest, looking like he was short of breath and had difficulty breathing.
So, Mom used me, a girl, to impersonate a boy because she was afraid the boy would grow up and compete with Beichen for the "throne"?
How absurd!
"Dai, Dai Xiufen, you vicious woman, where have you put my son?!" The father stamped his feet, and as soon as he finished speaking, his body swayed and he looked like he was about to collapse.
"He's dead! He was thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!"
The mother continued to deliver the vicious blow.
Dad fell backward onto the mahogany coffee table, scattering teaware all over the floor with a jarring sound.
He clutched his chest, gasping for breath, as if he were having a heart attack, just like in his past life.
I instinctively stepped forward, wanting to help him up.
Just then, the sound of police sirens rang out from outside, growing louder as they approached.
"You, you brat, you betrayed me?!" My mother grabbed my arm and questioned me.
